Self-publishing poem

Fortune Cookies 
By: Mia Zhang 

When i was small 
A fortune cookie was a trick 
A trick made by my father's quick hands
I wondered the piece of paper inside the cookie
But not the meaning of the line
Why? Because it tastes good

When i grow up
The taste did not change
But the meaning of the line changed
Does the cookie know? No 
Do i believe in! Yes

Other than the line
I start wondering about the number
Sitting quietly on the back of the piece of paper
I think they are different kinds of fortune

Once upon a time
A seventy-five years old lady 
Cracked open a random fortune cookie 
She opened the cookie
The fortune slipped to her palm
She entered the number for lottery
Guess what? She got a million fortunes
